  • Hold on a minute, it may not be all bad. There are some Bargains out there to be had at this time of year if you've a good attic to store stuff in.

    Halfords are doing half price on some Bikes. I'm sure I saw a pink girly bike that would suit a 4 year old for about £45 (Half Price down from about £90)

    It may be a good thing to shop around now and opick up a bargain before prices start going up towards christmas....

    I have all my pressie bought. Hit sales in SpaceNK and got gift sets down from £40 to £10 and L'Occitane have stuff at half price and they will box it for you.:T
  • I've also started and have bought a few things in the sale, only remembered the other day that I bought my nephews pressie in the Jan sales and gave it to my mum to look after!


    Thats my only problem - come December I can never remember where I put them!!!

    Im the same sparky- last year I bought my brother five t-shirts at various different times and when it came to wrapping I couldn't believe how much stuff I had to him. Although on the plus side I'm sorted for his birthday as well.

    Get a bit of paper and keep it in your purse/wallet and write down xmas pressies. It'll be really tatty come december but so far I haven't double gifted anyone (I have 27 to buy for and that's only mine and my partner's IMMEDIATE family. Think someone should have got our parents a tv for Christmas one year)
